CNC MACHININGSoft Cut Gaskets - We've invested in new large format CNC gasket cutting equipment in order to be able to make small quantities of paper gaskets. Some modern engines have done away with gaskets in favour of liquid sealants, and some of our engine build customers are asking for these gaskets to be made. More info from the button on the left entitled "Soft Cut Gaskets".
Bi-Metal Head Gaskets - our unique design of Bi-Metal Head Gasket is in production in 0.6 or 1.0mm thickness. These are new products designed for user-friendliness & strength in situations where a conventional head gasket is unsuitable, and are aimed at the individual or small organisation. Minimum order is just 1 - no tooling or set-up charges, prices are between £158.00 & £177.00 for an average 4 cylinder engine. As with solid copper head gaskets, surface flatness & finish are all-important. None of our head gasket products are an answer to a basic head gasket failure, but as a solution to a strength or design limitation problem these can be almost unbeatable providing the utmost care is taken during engine machining & preparation. More info here.
Thermal Inlet Gasket - the thermal inlet gasket has been in production for some time now, but we've done a bit of re-engineering to create a thicker, stronger version that is capable of handling high pressure & vacuum, while offering even more insulating properties. The new version is 6.0mm thick, has rubber o-rings on both sides, is currently in production for Ford Cosworth YB & Zetec, but more applications will be added soon. More info here.
Prince's Trust - We actively support the Prince's
Trust, and Mike is now a Volunteer Mentor to young people that would like to

volunteers - especially in Wales! If you think you may be able to help in
any way, please have a look at the Trust website here -

- anyone with any experience of anything (and that means you!!) is likely to be
of value to the Trust in one way or another.
